(non-standard) are differently crimped for technical reasons; the individual crimp styles are denot-
ed by consecutive numbers (S, S2 through S5) as shown in the dimensional drawings below.
The crimp styles of the individual types can be seen from the type designation in the ordering ta-
bles.

Cautions and warnings
General
1. EPCOS metal oxide varistors are designed for specific applications and should not be used
for purposes not identified in our specifications, application notes and data books unless oth-
erwise agreed with EPCOS during the design-in-phase.
2. Ensure suitability of SIOVs through reliability testing during the design-in phase. SIOVs
should be evaluated taking into consideration worst-case conditions.
3. For applications of SIOVs in line-to-ground circuits based on various international and local
standards there are restrictions existing or additional safety measures required.
Storage
1. Store SIOVs only in original packaging. Do not open the package prior to processing.
2. Recommended storage conditions in original packaging:
Storage temperature: 25 °C ... +45 °C,
Relative humidity: <75% annual average,
<95% on maximum 30 days a year.
Dew precipitation: is to be avoided.
3. Avoid contamination of an SIOV's during storage, handling and processing.
4. Avoid storage of SIOVs in harmful environments that can affect the function during long-term
operation (examples given under operation precautions).
5. The SIOV type series should be soldered after shipment from EPCOS within the time speci-
fied:
SIOV-S, -Q, -LS, -B, -SNF 24 months
ETFV/ T series, -CU 12 months.
Handling
1. SIOVs must not be dropped.
2. Components must not be touched with bare hands. Gloves are recommended.
3. Avoid contamination of the surface of SIOV electrodes during handling, be careful of thesharp edge of SIOV electrodes.
Soldering (where applicable)
1. Use rosin-type flux or non-activated flux.
2. Insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks.
3. Rapid cooling by dipping in solvent is not recommended.
4. Complete removal of flux is recommended.
5. Temperatures of all preheat stages and the solder bath must be strictly controlled especially
for T series (T14 and T20).
Leaded varistors B722*
AdvanceD-MP, S10 series
Page 18 of 22Please read Cautions and warnings andImportant notes at the end of this document.
Mounting
1. Potting, sealing or adhesive compounds can produce chemical reactions in the SIOV ceramic
that will degrade the component’s electrical characteristics.
2. Overloading SIOVs may result in ruptured packages and expulsion of hot materials. For this
reason SIOVs should be physically shielded from adjacent components.
Operation
1. Use SIOVs only within the specified temperature operating range.
2. Use SIOVs only within the specified voltage and current ranges.
3. Environmental conditions must not harm SIOVs. Use SIOVs only in normal atmospheric con-
ditions. Avoid use in deoxidizing gases (chlorine gas, hydrogen sulfide gas, ammonia gas,
sulfuric acid gas etc), corrosive agents, humid or salty conditions.Contact with any liquids and
solvents should be prevented.
Display of ordering codes for EPCOS products
The ordering code for one and the same EPCOS product can be represented differently in data
sheets, data books, other publications, on the EPCOS website, or in order-related documents
such as shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of
the ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the
specifications of the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet
under www.epcos.com/orderingcodes

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication: 1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typicalrequirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. Wenevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as bindingstatements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As arule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them thanthe customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customerto check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product specification issuitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failurebefore the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current stateof the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very highlevel of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction orfailure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accidentprevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of thecustomer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitryor redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction orfailure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our MaterialData Sheets on the Internet (www.tdk-electronics.tdk.com/material). Should you have any moredetailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in thispublication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding productspecifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specificationscontained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from theforegoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to our General Termsand Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard.The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the qualitymanagement system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements andcustomer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy ofrespecting individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance ofunilateral requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually agreedupon can and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clarificationpurposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become legally binding ifindividually agreed upon.
